Is there a way to get a Sims 2 neighborhood terrain into Sim City 4 so that you can edit it? Or is it a one-way street?
Since the terrains are the same file format as SimCity4 uses, they should be compatible... Question is what region it will end up in. Hm, I'm all curious now... I think I'll check.
... Nope, dead wrong. Just copying over a terrain to a region folder didn't work, and neither did replacing an existing terrain with a Sims2 one - the original terrain still shows up when I load it.

Tried this and it worked, although at first I thought it hadn't as there were no houses to be seen anywhere. Wandered around with my mouse and the hand kept appearing - they were all invisible. Maybe it was because I couldn't replace the first UNK number as it didn't exist in either the original neighbourhood or my new one.
Since I switched to a more mountainous terrain, some of my houses were embedded in the mountains. I only discovered them when I moused over the area looking for a place to move in a family and the lot would show up red (as in "your sims can't afford to live here"). I royally screwed up when I moved the lot, which was actually a house, to the bin. It was occupied! I had no idea until I got it into the lots and houses bin. It would have been nice if, instead of the "are you sure you want to move 'Modern Villa' to the lots and houses bin" message, it had said "Are you sure you want to move 'Modern villa' and the 'x family"! Now I am faced with the fun task of removing extra copies of many of my characters in simpe. This game is pissing me off today.

Okay, you guys. Had to go to a backup copy of my neighborhood, so I took the opportunity to take a screenshot of my houses at sea.

Oh! I like it!

Aw darn.
Oh well, after thinking about it, I realized that the neighborhoods I play in 95% of the time are on terrains that I created in SC4, so there's still the option to rework the terrains again in SC4 to make a new one.

Val, that picture is priceless. Keep it, it might yet serve you well some time in the future. (goes off to ponder some truly wicked ideas).
